Lewis Grizzard Spring Time

Improved Essays
Spring Time Lewis Grizzard one said, “Springtime is the land awakening. The March winds are the morning yawn.” As winter ends and Spring begins, the wildlife comes out to greet us once more, the weather becomes a pleasure to be in, and fun outside activities begin again. Spring is the most beautiful season of them all; and, I wish it could stay all year. Yawning and hungry from months of hibernation, stinky bears rush to the lake to rinse off the winter days and catch a bite to eat. They plunge into the still frigid waters, pawing at the fish and becoming alive again. As you wake in the morning, the birds greet you with a melody that pleasures your senses; and, you can see them swoop down to catch a wiggling worm that they’ve had their eyes

    A series of small waves pressed the sail boat against the alge dock as his cold and cracked hands desperately yanked on the rope in an effort to raise the sails. Dark clouds had moved in the night before and had stayed overnight providing a refreshing sprinkle of rain every now and then. He looked out over the vast plain of unsettled water and saw one individual white cap rise up among the rest only to be pushed back down. Due to the lack of sunlight the frigid water appeared black and lifeless but he knew that below it was a complex community of different species. He then bent over the side of the boat and reached for its securing ropes.…

    Spring was a very hefty chapter that included many pivotal points in the book for many characters. These changes are foreshadowed by the point Claudia made at the beginning of Spring by associating the change in season with being beaten which ties in with the events of the following chapters that involve oppression or pain of some sort.

Further, in the chapter, the events involving Mrs. Breedlove and Polly add to a point I made in class during the discussion…
